Realising that their combined creative talents led to a magic greater than the sum of its parts, joint-lead singers Jack Perrett and Dan Burridge formed Eurekas in October 2021. Since then, the band have busily established themselves as ones to watch on the South Wales scene, gigging with unwavering determination and enthusiasm at venues across the country. 

Debut single ‘Made You Look’ was well received by a host of highly regarded figures within the world of indie rock including none other than legendary BBC 6 Music DJ Steve Lamacq. The track has also garnered international  attention, including that of giants of US radio Sirius XM.

The juxtaposing lyrics showcase a frustrated longing for the protagonist whose name forms the song’s title. Guitars with an unmistakable jangle complete the package to form an accomplished indie anthem.
